# Has anyone had success growing an olive tree indoors? I just got mine…

Has anyone had success growing an olive tree indoors? I just got mine and it’s on a care schedule but it’s dropping leaves. I don’t know if it’s stressed from the new environment or what but the expert suggested I transition it to outside.

Mine developed rust. I’m not sure it can be saved. Is your pot big enough?

It may need to be repotted but I was afraid of causing it more stress.

Mine only thrived outside full bright Sun, I honestly almost forget about him and it’s huge.

I feel like this is the answer. Fortunately I’m in Florida so I can make that happen.
